Letter: Driscoll on the money over conflicts of interest

Wow. Regarding Uri Driscoll's "My Word" ("Conflicts of Coastal Interests Imperil Health of Our Dunes," Times-Standard, July 6, Page A4), it is apparent that the good ol' boy network is alive and well between our bureaucratic regulators and our environmental industry. The conflicts that are pointed out are not only unacceptable but are borderline immoral. In addition to this, your readers may be interested to know that their tax dollars paid for a large part of the remodel for the Friends of the Dunes building to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's time that the people named in the article clear up their conflicts by resigning their positions with Friends of the Dunes, or in the case of government employees who are conflicted, they should resign their jobs.
